Instructor and Course Author Chuck McCullough is the CEO of McCullough & Associates, a custom software development and training company founded in 1991.
Chuck has a degree in Computer Science from Texas A&M University.
This lecture provides a quick overview of the rest of the course.
This lecture provides information on how Visual Studio can be used for C++ development as well as how it is used throughout the course.
Don't underestimate the importance of this section. Most CS programs no longer emphasize computer architecture or even low level CPU architecture. Creating great software doesn't require a degree in circuit design, but understanding how the computer processes information is key to good design and programming.
This short lecture provides an overview of basic C++ syntax with emphasis on pre-processor.
This demonstration completes a simple lab in Udemy. The student will know how to bridge between their local environment and the Udemy Lab requirements.
Your first C++ program is the result of this module.
Get to know the most common operators in C++.
This lesson provides basic function introduction.
Control the flow of your program with loops and conditionals.
This lecture introduces programmer-defined data types (structs) and arrays. After this lecture, the student will have a good understanding of complex types.
This lecture provides basic information on pointers.
This lecture provides a quick introduction to input and output streams in C++.
At the conclusion of this lesson, students will be able to declare simple classes and used classes in C++. Also, inline functions, out of body functions, and access modifiers are discussed.
This lecture provides an introduction to constructors and destructors.

Get what you need to start your career in programming with this course. We start by introducing the student to tools, compilers and languages. We then move on to type concepts and how data is represented and processed on the computer. Next, the course walks through popular development tools and their use. Finally, we introduce the basic concepts in C++. This course focuses on the latest C++ standard (17) using g++ and msvc and modern development tools. Students will learn to utilize tools, manage and debug code.
Programming in any language requires a good foundation and this course will get you off to a great start. Learn to produce elegant code, rich in design patterns and position yourself for the next steps in your career!
Why choose this course? Chuck's courses have been delivered to thousands of developers in-person, online and via Udemy, including major corporations, government agencies and military around the world.
